In the last part of our review & road test of the Bentley Continental Flying Spur Speed, we ask who would buy this M5 for a plutocrat? Who will buy the Bentley Continental Flying Spur Speed? It seems a fair question. For the keen driver there is no comparison between the regular Flying Spur and […]
Bentley Continental Flying Spur Speed Series 51 Review & Road Test (2011) Part 2
In part 2 of our review and road test of the Bentley Continental Flying Spur Speed, we look at its performance. Can a big saloon really perform like a Supercar? A prod on the button yields a turbine-like wail from the starter as it breathes life in to the 12 cylinders. That the background growl of […]
Bentley Continental Flying Spur Speed Series 51 Review & Road Test (2011)
This week we play at plutocrat boy-racers as we have the Bentley Continental Flying Spur Speed Series 51 in for Review and Road Test. Does it make sense? We’re a picky bunch, us Brits. However brilliant anything is we have to find a way to denigrate it. It’s as if we can’t live with success; we […]
Audi Q3: Official
Audi officially reveals the Audi Q3 ahead of the Shanghai Motor Show, with a choice of 3 engines and FWD or 4WD. Prices from around £25k. Ahead of its official reveal at Shanghai this month, the baby SUV that is the Audi Q3 has bowed in, with plenty of detail and lots of photos. Looking […]
Lexus LF-Gh Concept revealed
Lexus has revealed the Lexus LF-Gh Concept ahead of New York which seems to be a new Lexus GS with a big grill. And probably a plug-in hybrid. Toyota had a little tease with the Lexus LF-Gh concept. They sent us some photos that showed us a bit of the front and a bit of […]
Schumacher & Rosberg: A pregnant pause
Mercedes F1 has produced a little video showing teasing rivalry between Michael Schumacher and Nico Rosberg as they stop to help a stranded pregnant woman. Those crazy Germans, they do like to josh with us. Since Mercedes now has an all German team we wonder if they’re trying a bit too hard to prove there’s a human […]
Bentley Mulsanne Coupe: The new Bentley Turbo R?
It’s being reported that Bentley are close to expanding the Mulsanne with a Mulsanne Coupe, which will revive the Bentley Turbo R moniker. It’s a little over a year since Bentley finally gave us all the details on their replacement for the iconic (not used lightly) Arnage – the last of the ‘Real’ bentleys, many […]
Kia pro_cee’d ‘4’ clocks in
Kia has revealed the Kia pro_cee’d 4, a top of the range pro_cee’d with toys like Cruise and SatNav, plus alloys and leather. Costs £18,495. We did think that Kia had forgotten all about the pro_cee’d, another appallingly-named offering from Hyundai’s sibling. But no, they finally got round to offering a similar makeover on the three-door pro_cee’d to […]
2012 Ford Focus ST Spied
We have a spy photo of the 2012 Ford Focus ST out testing ahead of a production ready reveal at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show. The 2011 Ford Focus is now starting to hit the roads in earnest (especially on the roads near Cars UK Towers), but what we’re really looking forward to is a […]
Nissan LEAF won’t start
It’s being reported that a significant number of Nissan LEAF electric cars are failing to start. The issue has been reported in the US and Japan. Perhaps the most disconcerting thing about stepping in to an EV for the first time – or even a hybrid – is that the car gets turned on rather than being […]
